Background of the Project

On Sunday, 25 April 2015, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Barpak , about 76 Km northwest of Kathmandu

To date, there are over 8,631 casualties, 16,808 injuries.

There are 0.5million of buildings totally collapsed and 27 million houses of buildings partially damaged

Points of land slides are more than 3,300 including Tibet side and delay of rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts

The government of Nepal submitted a request to the government of Japan for a rehabilitation and recovery project on 5th of June. Based on the request and a series of consecutive discussions, both sides agreed on and signed the Record of Discussion (R/D) on 15th of June.

This Project is implemented by the Japan International Cooperation Agency through the JICA Project Team based on the contents agreed on the R/D stated above.

Objectives

• To implement Technical Cooperation Project and Development Study to support process of early rehabilitation and recovery of the affected areas

• To formulate disaster resilient nation and society by referring the experience and lessons learned of the disaster and reconstruction in Japan.

• To implement a prioritized reconstruction project to fill the demand-supply gap which arises during the transition from humanitarian assistance phase to rehabilitation and reconstruction

• To develop additional projects such as Program Grant Aid and Loan Projects.

Formulation and Implementation of Quick Impact Projects (QIPs)

• Formulation process

2) Needs survey Interviews at target DDCs

Items identified in Output 3 but cannot be

implemented through grant aid program

Concepts and ideas shared by relative

government agencies and donor organizations

Longlist of candidate projects

3) Establishment of criteria for project evaluation / evaluation of candidate projects

Shortlist of candidate projects

4) Selection of QIPs Site survey and collection of detail

information

Effect of project implementation

Consistency with formulation concept

Balance with other formulation

concepts

Areal distribution

Expandability of project effect

Prioritization of QIPs

1) Concept for QIP formulation Formulation of QIPs necessary and effective for

the disaster affected areas

Discussion with Relevant Organizations of Nepal

QIPs to be implemented

Survey for Local Governments

• Interviews with DDCs in the project area

– Preparation of longlist at DDC→Finalization at Municipal / Village level

– However, with the consensus of DDC, project list may be directly prepared at Municipal / Village level. This may save considerable amount of time.
